One of the

more unusual items on next week's Fulton County Board of Education agenda

concerns decals.

Thursday,

Dec. 14, the board is scheduled to vote on a resolution to exempt a

limited number of vehicles from a new state law that mandates that decals

must be affixed to both front doors of any government vehicle.

School system

public information officer Adrian Bailey said the system is seeking

to exempt school buses from the law because they only have one front

door.

"With

only one front door, you don't want to limit the visibility," she

said.

The other

exemption the system is seeking is for cars used by the superintendent

and assistant superintendent.

"They

conduct a lot of business off school property and we just think they

don't need the decals because of security issues," she said.
